Many of us have experienced home insurance cancellation or sky rocketing premiums. No matter what happens with this wildfire map, even a full repeal of the wildfire map will not stop the problems we are experiencing with home insurance. We are not alone in this. Any state that experiences high risk from natural disasters are experiencing this crisis. It is time to start working on the Insurance Commissioner, Andrew Stolfi for needed insurance reforms in Oregon. Below is a sample letter you can use with his contact information: [email protected]
Subject: Urgent Need for Home Insurance Reforms in Oregon
Dear Insurance Commissioner Andrew R. Stolfi,
I am sure you are aware that Oregon homeowners are under attack by the home insurance industry. Oregon much like California, Texas, Florida and any other state that experiences high risk from natural disasters is experiencing skyrocketing rates and insurance companies leaving the state.
Oregon needs home insurance reforms desperately. States like Florida have modified their home insurance litigation methods to help reduce premiums in addition to offering incentives to attract new companies (which is already seeing success). Texas is overhauling their entire home insurance regulatory system in order to help mitigate these problems.
Oregonians needs help, help in the way of home insurance reforms to reduce skyrocketing costs and companies leaving the state. I urge you to please look into and find insurance reforms that may help fellow Oregonians as they struggle to make ends meet. Please be proactive before the home insurance crisis is out of control.
Sincerely,
